Super, smashing, great.

One of those strange coincidences that Prof Hawking might explain.....

My late father-in-law was the spitting image of Jim Bowen, much to his chagrin (f-i-l's not Jim's...don't think Jim knew). And then Jim Bowen goes and dies on the anniversary of the day my f-i-l died. Must be something to do with worm holes. :shock:

Maybe the meaning of life is not 42 but treble 14's.

It used to annoy me when the 'Howard' character on 'The Big Bang Theory' used to imitate Professor Hawking's voice

synthesis ,but then he turned up in a few episodes himself.
